Chapter 54: Counting Money
Wang and Yuan were talking and laughing when they reached the intersection when they heard Qin Fangci's loud shout. Wang's heart skipped a beat and she didn't care about Yuan anymore and ran home.
Not to mention Wang, the daughter-in-law, even Yuan was startled. After the shock, she also ran forward, but her eyes were full of gossip, curiosity and happiness.
The third child was also scolded by her mother-in-law. What good thing did she do? Let her go and see it.
Li Baitai knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.
He knew he was wrong, but he wanted to do this even though he was wrong. He also wanted to wait for Sandan to grow up and send the child to school for two years, and wanted to give Si Ya more dowry when she got married.
"Mom, what happened to Brother A'tai?" Wang rushed to Li Laosan anxiously, "Mom, if you have something to say, just talk to him nicely. Brother A'tai won't do anything bad."
Li Laoer, who was standing next to him, felt that something was implied.
"Your man went to climb the cliff of Shuang'an Mountain alone. He was lucky not to fall. If he hadn't been so lucky..."
Wang got anxious when she heard this. She clenched her fist and hit Li Laosan, "If anything happens to you, how are we going to live?!"
"Our family isn't in dire straits yet. I'm putting this out there. Cherish your life. If you really don't listen, I can't tie your hands or feet. If something happens, I'll treat it if I can. If not, I'll dig a grave and bury you myself, and preserve our mother-son relationship."
"Mom - Brother Atai knows he was wrong, he knows he was wrong." Wang cried with snot and tears, and patted Li Laosan as if Li Laosan was already dying.
San Ya and Siya also came back at this time. When Siya saw her mother crying, the little girl screamed and rushed over.
Li Laosan caught his daughter, hugged the little girl, looked at his wife with red eyes crying, and fear came over him.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Li Laosan finally stopped being stubborn.
Qin Fangci breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, "Don't cry, Third Lady. Take Fourth Girl with you and comfort her. Don't scare the child to death."
"The old man's family is setting up dinner. Tonight's bill will be settled after dinner."
The Li family courtyard, which should have been bustling, became quiet because of this little episode caused by Li Laosan.
Pan Sloppy patted his chest quietly and moved closer to Li Bosong. "Your mother is really vicious, but don't say it, this old lady has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. You are lucky as her children."
"My mother is very good. Don't say bad things about her in the future. Be careful that she will drive you away. There's nothing I can do about it."
"How could that be? I have real skills."
"Then when I have learned all your skills, I will have my mother drive you away."
"Hey there," Pan Sloppy slapped his chest exaggeratedly, "You're so arrogant, you scared me to death."
This family is becoming more and more interesting.
Dinner was placed in the yard, and everyone ate without looking up in the last bit of daylight.
Mainly because it’s so delicious.
Pan Laila, who had eaten a lot of delicious food, felt very satisfied after having such a delicious dinner despite being starving, let alone the Li family.
There was a little bit of marinade left at the bottom of the bowl. Boss Li was quick to dip his chopsticks into it, and put the vegetables coated with the marinade into his mouth. The delicious taste swirled from the tip of his tongue all the way down into his stomach.
Li Yulan hesitated for a moment, and the bottom of her bowl was snatched away. She immediately complained to Qin Fangci angrily, "Mom, look at my brother. He has guests, but he is not polite at all."
Before Qin Fangci could say anything, Pan Sloppy waved his hand first, "Don't treat me like a guest. I'm just a freeloader. I didn't expect that I would actually be able to eat for free. Your food is really delicious. Next time, leave a table at the bottom of your bowl for me."
Qin Fangci: "..."
Other members of the Li family: "..."
After dinner, Mrs. Du gently pushed her two daughters and said, "You don't have to wash the dishes. Go to your grandma."
Qin Fangci was already surrounded by Li Lao Da, Li Lao Er, Yuan Shi and Li Yulan. Wang Shi left her son and daughter to her husband and squeezed over.
"Mom, please collect the money. The money in my arms is like a mouth, biting me so much that I can't even enjoy my food. I have to collect it for you."
Boss Li hissed softly and curled his lips. "Damn Second Brother, he's still this stubborn. But my mother can't stand his stubborn character."
Li Laoda felt heartbroken and painful. He pushed Li Laoer away and followed suit, "Mom..."
"Wait a moment," Qin Fangci interrupted Boss Li's spellcasting and looked at the sisters-in-law Yuan and Wang. "You two speak first."
Yuan and Wang took out money from their pockets together, and the jingling of handfuls of copper coins on the table was very pleasant to hear.
"Mom, we've sold all of them. You sold a total of 31 bowls. Two of them were exchanged for eggs. The chickens have been laying a lot of eggs these days, so eggs are not worth much. I bought them for one cent each, and they were all big eggs. The last two bowls were one cent cheaper, so we sold them for nine cents each. We don't know how much we got. They're all here, you can count them."
Qin Fangci didn't need to worry, Li Baisong and his men had already started counting.
Even though Si Ya could count from one to five, Li Bosong asked everyone to stand by the table and move towards him one by one.
Li Yulan couldn't help but come over to join in the fun and count money. Who wouldn't love that?
The others were counting in groups of ten coins, but Si Ya was counting to five. Before she could count to five, all the copper coins were snatched away by her brothers, sisters and cousins. Si Ya almost cried, and San Ya saw this and quickly gave her a few coins, which stopped the little girl from crying.
A pile of copper coins were quickly counted out in piles.
Li Baisong had already calculated the result in his mind, but he didn't say it.
"Big Egg, how many piles are there?"
Dadan walked around the table and said, "There are sixteen piles. Uncle, how much are sixteen piles?"
"Put aside the piles of coins worth less than ten cents and start counting from the beginning," Li Baisong taught him.
"Saya and Sanya don't have enough money here, but what we counted is enough." Erdan reported.
San Ya only counted four copper coins and gave the other five to Si Ya next to her.
San Ya whispered, "Uncle, I only have four in this pile."
Li Bosong gently touched Sanya's head and said, "I understand."
Dadan and Erdan walked around the table together, while Da Ya and Er Ya counted the piles with their eyes.
Before the two brothers could speak, Erya whispered, "Uncle, there are thirteen piles of ten-cent coins."
Dadan glared at Erya fiercely, "Uncle asked me to count, not you."
"Big Egg." Li Baisong called out lightly. Big Egg didn't dare to glare at Erya anymore, but he couldn't help but feel aggrieved. "Uncle, she said it first."
"First, you should call her Second Sister. Second, even if your Second Sister interrupted you, you should still talk to her properly. We are a family."
"I understand, uncle." Dadan admitted his mistake honestly.
"Hmm?" Li Baisong signaled with his eyes.
Dadaner quickly glanced at Erya and said, "Second sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have glared at you. My uncle asked me to count. Don't interrupt me next time."
Erya glanced at Li Baisong quietly and replied softly, "Okay."
